The mouse cursor when over text is a thin I-beam, perhaps two pixels wide, black and white. Needless to say it is almost invisible and in bright ambient light, completely invisible. How can I change the colour and/or shape of the pointer (preferably both)?I had a similar problem on the terminal and was able to replace the I-beam resource file with one I created myself. I'm hoping something similar is possible for Emacs.did you try setting the cursor-type variable?
i must be tired, just realised the question is about the *mouse* pointer
as for colour, i have this in my .emacs: ,---- | (setq default-frame-alist | '((foreground-color . "black") | (cursor-color . "Coral") | ; .... other settings | )) `----
(mouse-color . "Coral") should work above for the shape have a look at M-: (info "(Elisp)Pointer Shape")
